vbs...

Last week was VBS for us at our church! It really was a fantastic week! Colden and Brindley were in the same group this year and Brindley was so excited to be old enough to participate! She cried on the first day when it was over!

I was a station leader for elementary crafts...very fun, very busy! I would definitely do it again though. We are always completely exhausted and worn out each day after VBS, but I have to tell you...it really is the most amazing week for the kids. They learn and take home so much that it makes it all well worth it. I have a feeling we will be singing the songs for months to come!

Here are a few pictures of the kids performing their VBS songs at church on Sunday! Way too cute!

lake chelan

We enjoyed an extended weekend at Lake Chelan! Vicki invited us to her family's Lake Chelan cabin for a few days! We had a great time! The weather couldn't have been better, not to mention the accomodations! It was breath-takingly beautiful. We explored Chelan, floated in the lake, played in the kiddy pool, ate lots of food, and had quality family time! Brian and I got to get out and explore some wineries! We had a fabulous lunch with a great view too!

I completely suck at taking pictures! I only took a handful...but I know Grandma took plenty...so perhaps I'll load hers later on! = )

Thank you so much for having us!

Swimming in the pool that Grandma surprised us with!

Trying out the floats on the lake! That was heavenly for the adults!

So obsessed with Grandma's dogs, Rosie and Max...that they decided to actually be Rosie and Max!

Getting ready to play putt-putt!

Remlinger Farms!

My Mom and I took the kids to Remlinger Farms on Monday! I forget what a neat place this is and we had to take advantage of the start of summer (since the sun decided to make an appearance)!

The kids had a blast! They rode on ponies, roller coasters, a mini ferris wheel, tea cups, and of course the train!

We will be back this summer for sure!

a wet 4th of July...

I'm thinking this could go on record as one of the wettest 4th of July's! We were blessed enough to have our good friends, the Fontaine's, over to celebrate the 4th. And while we were home bound for most of the day due to rain, we got to catch up!

We decided to brave the rain and cold, and watch the fireworks in Sammamish with the Fontaines and some of my other good friends...the fireworks were actually quite impressive! Colden LOVED them...Brindley hid her eyes the whole time!

I don't have many pictures because I didn't want to get my good camera wet, so I used my old little camera...and didn't take many!

A little sparkler and pop-it fun under the porch!This is what we had to do all night!
Angela and Brindley!

Ahh...Eclipse...

I will proudly admit...I am a huge Twilight fan! I don't read many books...I'm much more of a magazine person, but I have read all 4 of these...they were that good!

And with some of my other "Team Edward" friends...we were first in line at Eclipse!

TEAM EDWARD!!!!

I cannot wait for Breaking Dawn to come out...

strawberries

We went strawberry picking for the first time ever on Sunday! It was so fun and honestly I've never tasted better strawberries! We froze most of them so we can make freezer jam!! YUM!
